I've been with Spark since the end of Dec. '07. I have never in my life been able to track my nutrition accurately or consistently until now. I am now in 'maintenance mode' and still tracking!

Well, it's time to update this page!!

I've been with Spark since the end of Dec. '07. I have never in my life been able to track my nutrition accurately or consistently until now. I am now in 'maintenance mode' and still tracking!

It's necessary for me to track my fitness goals here on Spark because I find myself slacking if I don't. I receive a huge amount of support from my team members on 21-day fitness and could never have made it this far without them!

I posted pics on here of me in a bathing suit hoping it would push me to exercise. I'm not happy with my lack of muscle definition. I want to be buff, baby!

And the ironic thing is, I'm a certified personal trainer! I love motivating others and pushing them toward their goals, but still need someone to kick my own butt!

So, here I am ending 2008 and approaching 2009. I hit my goal of 125 in 2008 and would like to get to 120 in 2009. I'm looking for some serious muscle definition and a low body fat percentage... not too low...something close to 15%.

I feel like I have reset my 'set-point' body weight. My body used to be happy around 130. Now it's around 125-127. 5 lbs doesn't sound like much to lose. I'm not in any hurry to get rid of it. I'm just going to continue eating healthy and exercising and I'm going to watch my body slowly transform over the next 6-12 months.

It took me 1 year to get from 135-125 and be able to maintain that 125. I hit 125 a number of times throughout the year, but it took my body a long time to actually want to stay there. I feel like if I keep doing what I've been doing, that next 5 lbs is going to come off over the next year and hopefully I will maintain between 120-125, not 125-130.
